Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.

Available build options

pkgin-prefer-gzip
Attempt pkg_summary.gz first instead of bz2 or xz.
pkgin-static
Link all pkgsrc libraries statically.
